Mt. Juliet, Tenn. – Thieves targeted unlocked cars in the Cobblestone Landing and Chandler Pointe neighborhoods overnight, and one suspect was captured on surveillance video. Overnight, a group of thieves scavenged Hedgewood Lane, Warren Hill Drive, and Newberry Lane in search of unlocked cars with items of value inside. When they discovered an unlocked car, it was ransacked as they searched for anything of value.

The unknown burglars only made away with cash from one unlocked car, but four other cars were ransacked. In one particular incident, a suspect was captured on surveillance video around 4:30 a.m.
